Big Sarge got fired from his new job at the zoo. They found him naked, passed out drunk in the reptile exhibit again.

I would LOVE to walk around that house. How awesome that is. Just looking at it makes me imagine how it was built

I really liked how each log was fitted individually, to its neighbor log. Even the foundation stone on the corner is fitted to the log.

I'm gonna see if I can find the house again (it's waaaay out in BFE), find its owner, and secure Popdigr permission to metal detect around the place. No telling what's there.

There's another house from around the same period, with very similar building technique near this place.

The person who made this house knew what they were doing. Those notches are only on the undersides of the logs, not on the top and bottom like Lincoln Logs would have you believe it was done. By notching them on the underside and sloping off the corners on the top, the joint will shed rainwater. It's a brilliant design that was probably learned by trial and error over generations.

You could save those logs with 50/50 mix of turpentine and linseed oil. That structure looks sound with a little sagging on the second floor.

My cabin burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light.

I was helping out picking up trash in a local stream with my Boy Scout Troop today. I won the "most unusual thing found" award. An old pocket watch, with a bullet hole through it.

It looks as tho it's an Ingersoll Equinox Pocket Watch
The link below has a similar one ("in good working order") @ $45

http://martin_bradford.tripod.com/watches/pw015.jpg

But it's not nearly as interesting as one with a bullet hole that came out of a river!

This is what it once looked like and you can get information on how to date it here.

Yeah. There's no serial number anywhere. But I bet it's from somewhere around 1930 to 1960. And was shot more recently than that.

It's like a Rorschach test. Everyone has their own story. Mine involves someone being frustrated with a broken cheap watch and setting it in the crotch of a tree for target practice.

But a few people think it was in a pocket when it was shot. We'll never know.
